Honestly: pawn shops are your friend. MOST (not all, but majority) of laptops will have pretty good support now with Linux. I've yet to encounter a major issue with one, minus a few spots with finger print scanners, and CAC card readers. DO avoid Macs, in particular Mac's with M2 processors. The support for them isn't there yet. There's a distro working on it currently, but it's nowhere near ready.

I got a Lenovo t490 off of Amazon. It was part of their refreshed pool. It comes with 16 gigs on board and then I added another 8. I also swapped out the hard drive and put on Linux but I kept the windows hard drive. Battery life is so so and I'm not sure how it would do with gaming. But I paid sub $300 for it.

I'm a little iffy on buying anything used on Amazon, but I will definitely take that into consideration.

I've gotten hard drives, processors, memory, and GPUs off of Amazon refresh stock. Good, cheap shit that not only has a warranty, but doesn't need to use it.

they'll also rotate in massive discounts on and off over the year the akro mills company so sometimes those are sold much cheaper and the used sellers reduce price way further. Such a simple but effective workshop project
[I bought a bunch of these used over time and just recently zip tied em 3 a piece stacked on 3 sections of wood framed pegboard i have, has cleaned my electronics workshop shit right the fuck up :) It's nice b/c they can hang on the wall on a single screw coming out of a stud now. So it has little permanent impact on a lil indoor office/workshop](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TV3NL0/) they'll also rotate in massive discounts on and off over the year the akro mills company so sometimes those are sold much cheaper and the used sellers reduce price way further.

I definitely got four sent to the house and only one work well enough to keep. That's probably what you have to do. I don't use it everyday but it seems to work well enough for what I need which is not that much.
